Supervision for community mental health OTs
I provide a supportive, analytical environment to improve your clinical judgment, manage intricate cases, and develop a neuroaffirming and viable way to practice.
I offer individualised supervision for occupational therapists working with neurodivergent youth and adults in various community-based mental health contexts.
Supervision may help if..
• You work with individuals who have diverse and complex needs
• You want to refine your logic within mental health OT practice
• You find it difficult to turn assessments into meaningful, occupation-based therapy
• You intend to prioritize neuroaffirming care
• You are moving away from medical-model or compliance-based goals
• You want to analyze sensory health, regulation, and life participation in context
• You deal with intricate dynamics with families, support teams, or medical staff
• You carry the pressure of fixing every challenge for your clients
• You are noticing the emotional strain of a high-needs caseload
• You require firmer professional limits while staying empathetic and adaptable
• You want to better explain the specific value of occupational therapy to peers
• You seek to build a thriving career that protects against professional fatigue
My Practice Approach
As a seasoned mental health occupational therapist, presenter, and supervisor, my practice is grounded in community-based support for neurodivergent individuals. I operate through a neuroaffirming and LGBTQIA+ inclusive lens. My supervisory style is gentle, analytical, and cooperative. I focus on slowing down the process to deeply understand every individual within their specific environmental and social systems.
